The Last Of Us's Bella Ramsey Shares How Their Autism Diagnosis Actually Has Helped Them With Acting
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. When it comes to Hollywood stars, there's only a handful of actors who have spoken about being on the autism spectrum. The Last of Us's Bella Ramsey is helping normalize being part of the community that is estimated to include over 60 million people around the world. After previously opening up about getting their diagnosis while working on the video game adaptation, Ramsey has now shared why they believe having autism helps them with acting. When the actor was filming Season 1 of The Last of Us, they got their diagnosis after a crew member with an autistic daughter inspired them to get a psychiatric assessment and diagnosis. Once they got their diagnosis, the actor told British Vogue it confirmed something they 'always wondered' about. In Ramsey's latest interview with Them, here's how they talked about it further: For acting, I'm picking up the nuances of people's faces and their emotions, the things that they say and how they say them, and what sort of emotional feeling is feeding into that eye twitch or that mouth movements. That stuff I've absorbed like a sponge, and have all this knowledge of what it's like to be different people just by watching them. In the new interview, it was also explained how the diagnosis detailed how 'highly perceptive' they are, which definitely plays into being 'hyper-aware' of others' emotions, micro-expressions and body language. The Game of Thrones actor previously spoke about how the diagnosis helped them come to terms with feeling out of place in school when they were younger or having sensory issues, such as not being a fan of wearing thermals on set in Canada. Acting also works well with their autism because being on set plays into their love of routine. Ramsey has called having the diagnosis 'freeing,' and it allowed them to 'walk through the world with more grace towards' themselves. HBO Max: Plans start from $9.99 a monthYou can watch Bella Ramsey in both seasons of The Last Of Us on HBO Max. Pay $9.99 a month for its With Ads plan, and with three tiers available following a HBO Max subscription. You can also prepay for a year and save up to 20%.View Deal Per UCLA Health, research has shown that nearly 80% of people assigned female at birth, in particular, are undiagnosed as of 18. Having a diagnosis is important because it can explain symptoms and offer more resources and support to feel more confident when making friends with one's autism and going about the world. Outside of Ramsey's autism diagnosis, the actor, who is non-binary, has spoken up about their thoughts on gendered awards categories and suddenly getting famous at a young age because of their role in The Last Of Us. Ramsey's place on the 2025 TV schedule as the lead of The Last Of Us Season 2 has just ended following the finale of Season 2, but we can't wait to see what's next for the 21-year-old Brit. It's still a rarity for actors to speak about autism, so certainly more people will read Ramsey's comments and perhaps be inspired to explore the condition if they can relate to the actor's story.

Squid Game Season 3 Trailer: A Baby, A Betrayal And The Most Brutal Games Yet
New Delhi: The trailer of Squid Game Season 3 is finally here, and it looks like the darkest, most emotionally intense chapter yet. The final season teases a chilling showdown between Player 456, Seong Gi-hun and the mysterious Front Man-one that fans have been anticipating since the shocking end of Season 2. The trailer opens with a haunting new version of the infamous "Red Light, Green Light" game, immediately reminding viewers of the terror that started it all. Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae) is still reeling from the death of his friend Jung Bae and is seen confronting the guards, repeatedly asking, "Why didn't you kill me? Why did you keep me alive?" His desperation is met with silence and the Front Man's trademark unsettling smile. What follows is a montage of new, deadlier games, one of them bringing back the fear of heights that was missing in Season 2. The creepy giant doll Young Hee returns, but with a twist, possibly playing a new role. The trailer also shows a twisted take on the old Tug of War game from Season 1, now seemingly more brutal and psychologically disturbing. Among the most talked-about moments is the return of the eerie children's room teased in posters, its walls covered in what look like crayon drawings. The imagery hints at a disturbing subplot involving an unborn baby, possibly the one connected to Yim Si-wan's character, who may become the ultimate test for the remaining players' humanity. Gi-hun's face-off with the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) is a central focus. In a tense exchange, the masked leader asks him, "Player 456, do you still have faith in people?" Squid Game Season 3 is set to premiere on June 27, 2025, on Netflix. The show is created, written, directed and produced by Hwang Dong-hyuk, who has been at the helm since its inception. The cast this season includes Lee Jung-jae as Gi-hun, Lee Byung-hun as the Front Man/In-ho, Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Wi Ha-jun, Park Gyu-young, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Jo Yuri, Lee David and Roh Jae-won. Originally debuting in September 2021, Squid Game became a global cultural phenomenon. Season 1 remains Netflix's second most-watched show of all time, while Season 2, released in December 2024, is now the platform's third most-watched. The only Netflix show with higher viewership is Wednesday Season 1.

Netflix Reveals New Trailer for Squid Game Season 3: Watch
The post Netflix Reveals New Trailer for Squid Game Season 3: Watch appeared first on Consequence. Netflix revealed the full trailer for Squid Game Season 3 during its Tudum fan event on Saturday, May 31st. Watch the clip below. The third and final season of the international hit will feature the return of Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) alongside familiar faces like The Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) and detective Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon), as well as several players introduced in Season 2: Myung-gi, Dae-ho, Hyun-ju, Yong-sik, Geum-ja, Jun-hee, Min-su, and Nam-gyu. The new trailer finds Gi-hun back in the game after Season 2's rebellion, unsure why he's been allowed to live. But the answer may have something to do with The Front Man's plans for him, as 'Player 456' finds himself getting closer than ever before to the ones running the games. Because, as the trailer text says, 'all games come to an end.' Squid Game remains Netflix's most popular show to date. Season 1 holds the record for the streamer's most popular non-English TV show overall with 265.2 million views (as of May 5th, 2025), while Season 2 made its own mark by breaking the record for most views for a show in its premiere week.

Fallout Season 2: Everything We Know About the Amazon Megahit's Return
More Fallout is coming. Eventually. More from TVLine Lester Holt Signs Off as NBC Nightly News Anchor - Will You Miss Him? What to Watch in June: Your Guide to 110+ Premieres Across Broadcast, Cable and Streaming Nicole Kidman Is Kay Scarpetta, Jamie Lee Curtis Her Sister in First Look at Patricia Cornwell Thriller Adaptation It has already been more than a year since Season 1 of the Prime Video series, based on the popular video game franchise, exploded onto our screens. But rest assured, there is much more to look forward to, as detailed below. Fallout — which with its freshman run delivered Prime Video's most-watched season globally since Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power — is set 200 years after the apocalypse, where Lucy (played by Ella Purnell), a denizen of a luxury fallout shelter/'vault,' found her peaceful nature tested when she was forced to the toxic (?) surface to locate her father (Twin Peaks' Kyle MacLachlan). Aaron Moten (NeXT) co-stars as Maximus, a young soldier rising in the ranks of the militaristic Brotherhood of Steel, while Walton Goggins (Justified) plays Western star Cooper Howard and his post-apocalyptic persona The Ghoul, a morally fluid bounty hunter. The three parties collided in Season 1 when chasing a researcher (Evil's Michael Emerson) who was in possession of an artifact with the potential to change the power dynamic in this dystopian hellscape. What all do we know about Season 2, and the hit series' future beyond that? Well…. Oh, it was big. Huge, really. Season 1 became one of Prime Video's top three most-watched titles ever, and it set multiple records along the way. In Nielsen's weekly U.S. rankings of streaming originals, Fallout 1) racked up the most minutes viewed for any Prime Video title, 2) became the first series outside of the Netflix platform to rack up 2 billion minutes viewed in consecutive weeks, and 3) was the first Prime Video series to top the Overall Top 10 chart three times in a row. What's more, Nielsen's 'Streaming Unwrapped' report for 2024 crowned Fallout the Top New Original Drama Series after it amassed 11.95 billion minutes streamed last year. Season 1 garnered 16 Emmy nominations, including for Outstanding Drama Series, Lead Actor in a Drama (Walton Goggins), Special Visual Effects, Prosthetic Makeup, and Production Design. (It wound up grabbing Emmy gold once, for Outstanding Music Supervision.) Fallout's many kudos also include three Writers Guild of America Award nominations, Television Critics Association Award nods for Best Drama and Best New Program, and it won at the Art Directors Guild Awards for Excellence in Production Design for a One-Hour Fantasy Single-Camera Series. The new season will 'pick up in the aftermath of Season 1's epic finale and take audiences along for a journey through the wasteland of the Mojave to the post-apocalyptic city of New Vegas,' says Amazon. Said finale saw Lucy process a gut-punch of an epiphany — that her father, Hank, had a hands-on role in bombing Shady Sands — and in turn ally with the Ghoul to, among other things, go find his (meaning, Cooper Howard's) family. 'Will Lucy be able to hang on to her core?' in the wake of that bombshell and not devolve like The Ghoul, co-showrunner Graham Wagner asked in a THR Q&A. 'It's sort of a nature vs. nurture question. Has her time in a happy cozy vault steeled her against that? We will find out. What we're already into in Season 2 is exploring how far we want to push this character, how much do we want to see her hang onto to herself. It becomes the game of the show in its own way.' Goggins, meanwhile, told Deadline in February (see video below) that while he personally thought 'Season 1 was extraordinary,' the second season 'blows it out of the water, what these writers have done and the artisans that have come together to tell this story. It's really gonna be something. I can't wait for people to see it.' Walton Goggins teases #Fallout Season 2 : 'I thought Season 1 was extraordinary… This blows it out of the water' — Deadline (@DEADLINE) February 11, 2025 Returning cast members from Season 1 include, of course, Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets, Sweetpea), Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones) and Aaron Moten (Emancipation, Father Stu) — as Ella, The Ghoul/Cooper Howard and Maximus — as well as Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks) as Lucy's father Hank, Moisés Arias (The King of Staten Island) as Lucy's kid brother Norm, and Frances Turner (The Boys) as Cooper's wife/high-ranking Vault-Tec exec Barb Howard. The only reported cast addition for Season 2 is Macaulay Culkin in the recurring role of 'a crazy, genius-type character.' Culkin, of course, is best known for playing resourceful tyke Kevin McCallister in the 1990 holiday smash Home Alone and its 1992 sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. As a child actor, he also had memorable roles in My Girl and The Good Son. Culkin returned to acting as an adult, earning acclaim for his work in Party Monster and Saved!, among others. He more recently co-starred in Season 10 of FX's American Horror Story, dubbed Double Feature, and HBO's The Righteous Gemstones. If one looks closely once Season 2 arrives, you might detect that Fallout relocated its base of operations from New York to California (specifically, Santa Clarita aka NCIS-land) after receiving a $25 million tax credit. (Season 1 also filmed in New Jersey, Utah and, for the Wasteland scenes, Kolmanskop, Namibia.) As one result of the move to the West Coast, you might spy 'less gray skies,' co-showrunner Geneva Robertson-Dworet told THR. 'That was tricky about New York. We were shooting partially in the summer and partially in the middle of winter. And some of those exteriors, the gray skies, they're just not as beautiful.' Would you settle for a release month…? At Prime Video's Upfronts presentation on May 12, cast members Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten and Walton Goggins appeared onstage to announce that Season 2 will premiere this December, in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. That means some 20 months will have elapsed between seasons. TVLine will of course keep you posted on the precise release date for Season 2. In a way, there already is! At Amazon's annual Upfront presentation held May 12, it was also announced that Fallout has already been renewed for a third season. 'The holidays came a little early this year — we are thrilled to be ending the world all over again for a third season of Fallout,' said executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. 'On behalf of our brilliant cast and crew, our showrunners Geneva [Robertson-Dworet] and Graham [Wagner], and our partners at Bethesda, we're grateful to our incredible collaborators at Amazon MGM Studios and to the amazing fans as we continue our adventures in the wasteland together.' So, then, maybe the question is: Will there be a Season 4, and maybe more? 'Look, we've talked about three seasons and we've talked about five seasons…,' co-showrunner Graham Wagner told THR. 'Given the success of the show, five is suddenly feeling a little more appealing. But the industry is a temperamental thing and we kind of have to go into each season being like, 'This is our last.'
